Teaching
For the 23 years that I have been teaching at FSU, I have taught two main courses, ZOO4753C - Histology
and a special topics course in 3-D Electron Microscopy. I started out teaching students in the Program in
Medical Sciences in the fall of 1996 and continued until the end of that program in 2000 and the first year
of the new College of Medicine in 2001. My involvement with the College of Medicine ended with my
sabbatical in 2002 at which point the college had hired faculty with the prime purpose of teaching my
course. In 2003, I started teaching only undergraduates and post baccalaureate students. The course can
accommodate only 24 students due to limited resources but the course is generally oversubscribed when
registration opens. In 2016 I had a nearly a full complement of 23 students but enrollment dropped in 2017
so I have started modifying the course to give the students better learning tools. In 2018, 23 students
registered for the course. The course is just as difficult today as it was when I first taught it to PIMS
students. My 3-D EM course is an in depth course on the theory and practice of electron microscopy and
3-D image reconstruction. In 2019, 13 graduate students enrolled, which is the largest enrollment ever. It is
not just a survey of recent papers though it does some of that. I teach the students what I believe they need
to know in order to become experts in this field.

Research and Original Creative Work
Our research uses 3-D electron microscopy (EM) to study structure and function at the resolution of
Vita for Kenneth A. Taylor
Page 8
molecules and supramolecular assembly within cells. This aspect of EM includes techniques such as
electron crystallography, electron tomography, helical and "single particle" 3-D image reconstruction.
Since we specialize in EM, we also have heavy involvement in methodological development. Our research
has evolved from an emphasis on electron crystallography of 2-D arrays of purified muscle proteins to
electron tomography of intact muscle, in particular insect flight muscle (IFM) and now to high resolution
imaging using single particle methods. Electron tomography is enabling us to for the first time study the
conformations of tension generating cross-bridges in situ. Our first effort trapped myosin motors at all
stages of the enzymatic cycle, including the so-called power stroke as well as cross-bridges in the
presumably weak binding states that precede force production. My research also uses electron
crystallography to study enzymes, structural proteins and their supramolecular complexes. A major
experimental difficulty in any crystallographic imaging method is the production of crystals. Under certain
conditions, water-soluble proteins and extrinsic membrane proteins can be crystallized on lipid monolayers.
My laboratory has been using lipid monolayers to produce arrays of cytoskeletal proteins and molecular
motors. We are the only laboratory to have published structures (6 total) of 2-D crystals grown on lipid
monolayers and preserved in ice, a process that enables the internal structure of the protein to be
determined. Currently, we are working on the atomic resolution structure of thick filaments isolated from
striated muscle, Z-disks from striated muscle and amyloid fibers using cryoEM to study all three.
Program of Research and/or Focus of Original Creative Work
Current research focus is on the structure of muscle proteins. Our best-known structure is the
inhibited structure of dephosphorylated smooth muscle heavy meromyosin (HMM), the
two-headed soluble fragment of the motor protein myosin, as well as arrays of full-length smooth
muscle myosin (collectively cited 315 times). This structure was published in 2001 in the
Proceedings of the National Academy of Science. This head-head interaction, since dubbed the
interacting head motif, explained a large body of biochemical and site directed mutagenesis work
that had been previously unexplained. It has since been shown to be ubiquitous in myosin II,
even from striated muscles. Our latest accomplishment is a 3D structure of a thick filament
isolated directly from muscle tissue at a resolution sufficient to show the packing of the myosin
coiled coils. This is a landmark paper which has appeared in the journal Science Advances.
Current efforts are directed at pursuing new insights provided by that structure. We are pushing
this structure to atomic resolution, which when achieved will be another landmark. We are also
pursuing the structure of thick filaments from the flight muscle of Drosophila melanogaster and
have a pair of structures a ~7 Angstrom resolution. Largely through my efforts to obtain funding
from NIH to run the Biological Science Imaging Resource's Titan Krios as a regional facility
partly funded by the NIH, we have obtained funds for over $2M in upgrades which will facilitate
atomic resolution imaging of biomolecules and their higher order assemblies. These upgrades
make our Titan Krios as good as much newer ones.

Service
Most of my service to FSU is done within the Department of Biological Science and the Institute of
Molecular Biophysics. Within my department, I am faculty director of the Biological Science Imaging
Resource where I have built this facility to where it contains one of the most sophisticated electron
microscopes available today, the Titan Krios. My service to the scientific community largely consists of
reviewing grant applications and manuscripts. I was a frequent reviewer of NIH grants until my retirement
from the NIH Study Section "Emerging Bioanalytical and Imaging Technologies" in June 2011. Since I
started reviewing grants for the NIH in 1983, I have participated in 77 panels for an average of 2.1/year. In
2013 I was asked to participate in a review of the NIH PSI-Biology program. This was not a review of a
particular grant application, but rather a review of the entire program. Similarly, in 2014, I was asked to be
on an NIH/NIGMS Council Advisory panel that reviewed the Structural Biology of Aids Program. I was
asked back in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. In 2016, I was asked to serve as an Ad Hoc member of the
Board of Scientific Councilors of the NIH/NIAID. This assignment mostly consisted of evaluating the
progress of a tenure track investigator in my field. Most of my manuscript reviewing is done as member of
the Editorial Board of the Journal of Structural Biology with occasional requests from other journals such
as proceedings of the National Academy of Science of the USA. I was promoted to Associate Editor of the
Journal of Structural Biology in October 2018.
